Another security flaw.

We all know Microsoft Office files are security hells. Here's more
affirmation:
http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/ptech/09/13/microsoft.word.bug.ap/index.html

How it works, according to the article:
" The attacker sends the victim a bugged document, usually with a request 
that the document be revised and returned to the sender -- a common form of 
daily communication. When the document is changed and sent back, the file 
the attacker wants to steal is attached. "

BTW: Open Office 1.0.1 is an excellent free alternative to Microsoft 
Office. (http://www.openoffice.org). OpenOffice 1.0 is essentially the open 
source version of Sun's Star Office 6.0.
